The instruction manual for the game states that you cannot exceed the maximum number of nine lives; however, in reality, you can exceed nine lives, but the counter will stop at nine. Lives above nine will still be stored, but just not displayed. If you have, for example, eleven lives, the counter will display nine. If you lose one, it will remain at nine.
At the start of Under Ground Zone Act 2, a secret area can be found in the location where you start, but further up on a ledge. In order to get into it you must go to the bottom of the ledge. Go even further, turn around, and run at full speed. Then, press
and you will start to roll. If done correctly you will break through and enter. Inside there 24 rings and a ring box, giving you a total of 34 rings. There is also a mine car that will lead you out. There are a number of hidden areas like this in the game; they are often found in locations where there are perfectly square bricks. Run toward the bricks at full speed and roll; or if there is a spring available, use that and roll to break through the bricks.This cheat requires the Game Genie cheat device.
